4. (20 points) Determine the average power absorbed by the two soybean samples at each conveyor slope during micronization (this will provide you only a rough estimate). Show your calculation step-by-step for one of the soybean samples. Hint: The power absorbed has two components, related to: i) temperature rise in the soybeans, ii) moisture loss from the soybeans. 4 à = mc₂AT + mwL Where à is the power absorbed by the soybeans (kJ/s), m is the mass flow rate of soybeans (kg/s), Cp is the specific heat capacity of the soybeans (1.8 kJ kg-¹ K-¹), AT is the temperature rise of the soybeans (K, i.e., the temperature difference of the soybeans before and after micronization), mi is the average rate of moisture loss during micronization (kg/s), L is the latent heat of vaporization of water (2257 kJ/kg). 4.
